I really enjoyed this book, especially the juxtaposition of familiar landmarks with fantastic things. I have a feeling that it'll stick with me for a while. These are some random thoughts I jotted down as I read this book:

Books are a source of magic. Modern technology is a gateway to magic. There are no differences between old gods and new, old myths and new, archetypes bind us as they always have.

There are transactions that you make without being aware of their deeper significance.

You create your own magic and wonder, but you also create your own monsters.
